//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Pink Rainbow // Story: Daybroken Feather // by FeatherNote21 //------------------------------// Chapter 2 I pounded on Rainbow Dash's thick door. I couldn't believe that Daybreak was Jackson. My magic wasn't supposed to teleport him. Emily, Cory, James, Kevin...I was ok with any of them but Jackson? The junior I, a freshman, had a crush on? The door opened to reveal a cerulean pegasus with a spectrum mane and tail. "Feather? What a surprise!" she said, and put her hoof out for a hoofbump. I gave it a weak bump. "Whats wrong dude?" she asked, and I wordlessly hugged her, my tears started streaming into her fur. "Rainbow...." I sobbed, and I felt her hoof start rubbing my back comfortingly. "Whoa dude. No need for the waterworks right now. Come on in and tell me what happened." she said calmly. I let go of her and nodded solemnly. She trotted in and I followed, kicking the door closed with my hind leg. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily looked around. Where were Jackson and Lyra? She turned to her left, were Kevin sat, laughing, his pale blue eyes sparkling and curley back hair bobbing with every laugh. "Hey guys," she said. Everyone kept talking and laughing. They were overly loud, even without two of their members. Where they sat at lunch, under the staircase in front of the annex of the high school, was a small confined area with stained gray carpeting and white walls. She loved this place, but that was beside the point. "Guys, can you shut up for a minute?" she asked, louder this time. James, a freshman, shut up almost instantly. In the center of the circle was Kalvin, still talking like the dumbass he was. Emily grabbed his pale pink hat off his head. "HEY!" he cried, and reached for it. She held it next to her. "You can have it back after I finish talking." "Fine." he said, looking disgusted. "Does anyone know what happened to Lyra or Jackson? I haven't seen either of them today..." Emily said, her voice drifting off. "No, but now that you mention that, its strange. Jackson would've told me if he was sick..." Kevin said, and started rubbing Emily's back in a weak attempt to comfort her. She looked at the hat in her hands. "I just hope they're ok..." she almost whispered sadly.
